Diwali celebrations in Year 2!

As a Catholic school, we know it is important to learn about religions, beliefs and cultures that are different from our own.






We have made Diwali lamps (diyas) to celebrate the festival of lights, known as Diwali. Diyas are small, traditional lamps which symbolise light overcoming darkness. They are believed to bring good luck and protection.
